Historic Tavistock is 9 miles to the east; a thriving 'stannary' and award winning market town, with regular farmers' markets and a large variety of independent shops and cafes. The town is rich in history dating back to the 10th century and is famed for being the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake; with various primary schools, both state and private secondary schools, swimming pools and tennis courts.

The former market town of Launceston is 10 miles to the north giving access to the A30 which links Cornwall to the M5 and beyond.
